 | This is how action movies should be made. From the beginning to the end, the movie didn't allow you to breathe, there's always something happening. The elevator opening scene provided a sort of prologue for the movie. And yes the movie gets even more exciting the following minutes.
The bulk of the movie focused on Keanu Reeves attempt at preventing the bombing of a public bus by being actually on the bus. That was just pure fun, you've got all the possible roadblocks (traffic, broken bridge, gasoline etc) to keep the movie going.
And then there is the closing scene in the train that serves as sort of epilogue for the movie. The movie wrapped things up quite well. When all the action was done, the movie actually ended in a postponed and obligatory romance between Reeves and Bullock.
Engaging performances from everyone, tight and skillful direction from Jan de Bont, exciting stunts, and some funny moments! You can't go wrong with this movie.

| Having just watched Speed again this weekend, I felt moved to write a review on why I still love this movie as much as the first time I saw it. Sandra Bullock and Keanu Reeves have terrific chemistry on screen, but the movie itself is just one big action sequence. It keeps you on the edge of your toes, never quite knowing what will happen next (really, does anyone expect the house to blow up?). Reeves' character is the stuff action heros are made of, confident and yet once in a while reminds you he's human when he suffers. Bullock's character is quirky and fun, and one heck of a bus driver.
It's one of those movies that you can watch to the end and hit play again immediately to rewatch. Just plain good fun. |

| Dennis Hopper was a great villian - he sure kept us on the run.
Jack [K. Reeves] was hard put but ready to outsmart the bomber.
Sandra got better after a couple of stiff lines. She was great with all that yelling.
I didn't appreciate the bomb squad getting blown to smithereens but that was the story. [Jeff Daniels] part deserved better.
It still with all of its action and fast paced story line should become a "Classic" - it rates as one to be watched over and over again. This has been my 4th or 5th time already.
I sure wouldn't want to be caught having to jump a bus into space - landing would be just too uncertain.
Great tension - excellent acting on all parts - especially the bus passengers. And how about the police co-ordinating the rescues? Who was the flat-bed driver?
Well I will be ready to watch it again this fall.
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED -- |

| I was 2 years old when Speed was released in 1994. I bought it from Best Buy the other day, watched it, and loved it. It is awesome! I mean if a bus goes under 50 mph, it will explode! Awesome plot! It starred Keanu Reeves( before he starred in The Matrix Triogy), Sandra Bullock, and Dennis Hopper. This was a great action movie. I love it when the bus was crashing into all the cars on the highway. That was so cool. This is one of my favorites! Grade: A- |
